SS Minnedosa

SS Minnedosa

SS "Minnedosa" was a 15,000 ton steam ocean liner built in Glasgow on the River Clyde for the Canadian Pacific Shipping Line by Barclay Curle in 1918. She was used on the Liverpool to St John, New Brunswick run and called at all the major transatlantic ports. She carried numerous immigrants to Canada and the United States and for a period in the late 1920s was commanded by Captain Ronald Niel Stuart, VC and was entitled to fly the Blue Ensign as a result.

In 1935 she was sold for scrap, but was purchased by Mussolini's Italian government and refitted as a troopship named "Piemonte". She was employed throughout the Second World War, which she survived, only to be scrapped in Italy in 1949.
